New Update on Post #16 UPDATE 5/30/10

Well as some of you know. (anyone from cc ) I had 95 Civic EX that I traded for a 90 Prelude Si (aka the Batmobile). Well, once again I have now traded the Lude for a 90 Integra LS. Really only for to reasons. One I wanted a civic again and this was the closest I could get in a short amount of time lol and two I wanted something with more options. And by that i dont mean power options. I mean modifying options. with the lude I was limited to suspension, motor, traction bars, and whatever other custom parts you can fab up. dont get me wrong, I loved the Lude and the guys from preludepower.com have brought alot of stuff to the cars but I wanted more. With the civic it was almost limitless. Now with the Teggy I have many more options to pic from. Anyway. Enough rambling on. On to the Specs and Pics before I start my own personal touch to it lol. Got big plans for this one that will be much easier to achieve lol.


1990 Acura Integra LS
B18a1 1.8L non-vtec (for now lol)
5-speed for course
243k on the car 160k on the engine and trans.
power brakes
power steering
cruse control
AEM short ram intake
Front strut tower bar
Insanely loud 3" exhaust with no cat and a rather annoying muffler
2001 Integra front seats
Dual Bend Short Throw
Supposedly JDM taillights (gotta check into that still)
NO RUST AT ALL

That's it really. for the most part its still stock. even has the old school sawblades on it. just need to clean them up a bit.

As for what needs to be fixed. Not much really.

Got fix the interior lights, clock, horn. its all one fuse but its getting grounded out somewhere down the line after the under dash fuse box. it pops the 20a fuse the second i touch it in its spot. hell it even popped a 35a fuse lol. if worse comes to worse ill just run new wires and call it square. Found the problem. Not fixed lol

need to get a radio install kit. the radio is just sitting there right now and there are no front speakers and the antenna is missing the shaft. no biggy though. i work at an electronics store. half off baby lol. Fixed

there is a decent oil leak. let me rephrase that. it goes through about a quart of oil ever 200 miles or so. its all over the underside of the car. all the way to the muffler lol. im fairly certain its the oil pan gasket. its only silicone right now. no gasket at all.

i need to clean the egr and the iacv

i need to fix an exhaust leak. but i plan to get a whole new exhaust anyway.

i need to change the cooling fan. but Ive got a new one. Fixed

both window gears need to be replaced.

and that's it. all in all not bad.


As for what i have planned.

Paint is a must. the door jams are gold, the car was red originally so the underside of the hood and trunk is still red. the outside is blue and flat black.

gotta get some nice 16s

slam the bitch lol

im going to get some doors with power windows and locks if i can find them. the local pic-a-part has three of these in the same year so i should be able to find something around here between the hundreds of yards. i dont really care about locks too much since i can just add that later when i do an alarm system. but i gotta have power windows being a 5 speed and no a/c lol.

get a decent alarm system

30% window tint

and the big one. ls//vtec.


on to the few pics that I have taken so far. still needs a wash but oh well. oh and the white spots are not on the car. it was raining out when i took these lol.

thanks for the warm welcome guys. as for the color. Im not sure yet. ive got a few ideas rolling in my head right now but i gotta mess around on photoshop first to see if my color choices will look as good as they seem to be in my head lol. right now im thinking either a dark high gloss olive green or a color called insignia orange. basically its a tangerine base with a sunburst yellow candy. looks amazing in the sun. or i may go with the blue that is on the car now but redo the whole car the right way. its actually a pretty nice color when its clean.

The glare is from the reflector housing. No way to block that. This is why HID bulbs are meant for projectors.

yeah i know. but ill find a way to do something with it. i drove it like that to work this morning when it was pitch black out and never got flashed or pulled over. i know i passed atleast two cops too. it might not be as bad as it looks. ill have to get a buddy to go down the road in the opposite direction tonight and see what he says.
